period_in_minutes : Poll period in minutes. On elapse of poll period, the ASA device will contact the CE server to pull its configuration and Image related information.

username : CE Server's admin username.

password : Password configured to the ASA device while creating the device on CE server.

port : HTTPS server port. By default the port specifies to 443. If this port changed during setup, then the same should be used here.

Invalid remote host.

Make sure to add the appropriate name <ce-server-ip-address> <ce-server-hostname> command. As a work around you can use the IP address of the CE server in the auto-update server command instead of hostname.

Enable auto-update server logging on ASA device

To enable auto-update server logging on ASA device, execute the following commands:

ASA-Device(config)# logging enable

ASA-Device(config)# logging console 6

ASA-Device# debug auto-update server

ASA-Device# debug auto-update client

Configuration not pulled due to java.lang.SecurityException: Device Authentication Failed

When you get this error message, check the following:

1. Check whether the ASA device is created on CE server.

2. If the device is created on CE side, then check the auto-update server CLI on ASA to verify that the CLI is having correct username and password.

3. If you feel that the password is incorrect on either side, then re-sync the password on both the side by reconfiguring the auto-update server CLI on ASA device and by editing the device on CE side.

Configuration not pulled

This is because the device already downloaded associated template from CE server and the ASA device is running with updated configuration. Do the following to verify this.

1. Enable console/terminal logging on ASA device.

2. On elapse of poll-period ASA device will try to contact the CE server to retrieve the new template. During this time, the following log (not identical but similar) can be seen on the ASA device console.
